This is a wonderful post about dealing with adversity and challenging health problems, and rising above them. It would be much easier to allow self pity and depression to take over, but you have instead (like @gmuxx) found a way to use your challenges creatively. I wish you the best in your healing journey!

thanks @jayna. I'm a half full cup type of person and I've always had the belief that some of our most important lessons and opportunity for growth come from adversity. It's not always easy to see at the time. Partly what inspired me about @gmuxx's post was the retrospective clarity. When life gives you lemons you don't always need to make lemonade, lemons are much more versatile than that !!
I love it. That wisdom is so good, and I agree that adversity is a gift in its own weird way. Not that we would choose it. But those of us who work through it can often find a way to see challenges through a new lens and feel appreciation for becoming a tougher person, and perhaps a more compassionate one. These are the things that fuel me, as a writer.
